8 Mega Warning Signs to Look Out for in Dating and Relationships
Men and women alike have a predisposition to overlook some key
behavioral patterns of their new partner. When the relationship
takes on a sour note comes the sad remark 'Had I only known...'
but it's already too late, what should have been prevented
happened already.
Psychotherapists reveal that in most of their counseling
sessions with members of the same sex in the field of domestic
violence there is a clear indication that victims of domestic
violence can always trace back repulsive and sometimes dangerous
character traits of their partners to the very beginning of the
relationship.
Early Warning Signs to look out for and be wary of in a new
partner.
1. Irritable over petty matters and very antagonistic when
having arguments. 2. Subjecting you to humiliation and calling
you names when the two of you are alone. 3. Makes insulting
remarks about you in front of others in complete disregard of
your feelings. 4. Sadistic lovemaking and making you perform
sexual acts you do not like. 5. Deciding where and when to go
without consulting you 6. Limits your time with your friends and
family but forces you to socialize with his/her friends;
belittles your accomplishments and does not recognize your areas
of expertise. 7. Openly flirts with the opposite sex but accuses
you jealousy when you object. 8. Prone to tantrums and
destructive behavior.
A red flag warning should automatically be raised when your
partner comes on zealously in the beginning of your new
relationship, tries to sweep you off your feet, and wants an
exclusive relationship too quickly.
A lot of women are thrilled at the intensity of a man's open
display of an apparent need for an immediate connection and thus
overlooking its inappropriateness. However, this should not be
misconstrued as 'love at first sight' wherein one or both
parties feel an instant and strong connection - without any of
the aforementioned behaviors.
If the man in your life shows evidence of any of the above
attitudes or behavior - be aware that the relationship will not
get better, it might just get worse. Very likely, he will even
be reluctant to discuss his emotions because he feels that women
are inferior.
If this is the case, the best course of action is try to get out
of it as soon as possible to prevent any unlikely event like
physical abuse or emotional trauma.
